Just to put it in proper context, the actual quote is:

"I'd like to say the day that faucet in your kitchen sink is used for what God intended it to be used, then we will have a mature soft-drink industry. But until that time arrives, there is room for growth."

     - Roberto C. Goizueta, late Chairman of Coca-Cola when asked by Fortune magazine whether Coca-Cola could grow even more.

Goizueta and his wife fled Cuba in 1961 and started over again in Florida with $40 and 100 shares of Coca-Cola stock (he worked for Coke in Cuba). When he died in 1997 he was worth over $1,000,000,000 USD and had increased Coca-Cola's market value by $146,000,000,000 USD, which is better than even Bill Gates has done. (He was also the first, and possibly only, person to amass a $1,000,000,000 USD fortune just by working for someone else.)

And today he probably would wish that it was used to deliver DASANI, which has a much higher profit margin than their carbonated drinks. ;-)
